After spending weeks on end without going home and focusing all of her energy on healing up Hope, Veli had a decision to make. She knew that if she wanted to continue down this road and to become the person she knew she needed to be, she had to let go of the past, starting with her parents. She sat down and took out the scroll case and her quill and started writing.
Mother and Father,
As you probably have suspected by now and as much as it pains me to say this, I cannot keep on living with you both. You have turned your back on our family with all the screaming and fighting you do on a daily basis and you have disgraced our family with all of the anger you show towards each other on a daily basis. I once loved being in our home, I once loved to spend time with you and my brothers, but all of that has faded in the past few years with all of the screaming matches you do. That is why I am gone. I had enough. I couldn’t put up with it any longer and I finally found myself amidst all of the pain and suffering you and the wretched had caused me.
I have come to a crossroads in my life and I need to go where my heart leads. The Light has come into me and I finally feel like I embrace it.
Regardless, you have taught me well, and you have shown me right from wrong and I will forever be grateful for everything you have given me, but for now I must say goodbye.
I do still love you both,
Anar’alah, Shindo Sin’dorei
Veli.
After penning her name and petting Hope on the head she sent off the letter to her parents with one of the messengers and started packing, determined to leave on the morrow and to start her new life.
